I was first introduced to Ladyhawke after hearing Paris is Burning on some cable music channel. I wasn’t immediately impressed. I thought the chorus it sounded quite fresh yet catchy (a difficult combination), but equally was put off by the almost rap-esque verse.
My next exposure to Ladyhawke was seeing …
